What was it that turned you off, or bored you? (If you remember, of course...)<br /><br /><br />It'll be interesting to see if this series' gameplay appeals to me or not.

Now I *have* to buy some version of this game soon.<br /><br /><br />I've been aware of it for years, of course, but for all sorts of reasons I've failed to play it until now.<br /><br /><br />As for its name/title: I'm going to guess that had something to do with the folks at Namco realizing the game would be a hard sell otherwise :)thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-21528830911663582772015-01-08T15:45:38.395-08:002015-01-08T15:45:38.395-08:00Me, I have a peculiar fascination with Pac-Man 2: ...Me, I have a peculiar fascination with Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. It's more of an interactive animation than an action game, and certainly had no business calling itself THE sequel to Pac-Man, but I loved getting the goofy little bugger in all kinds of uncomfortable situations. Plus I'm reasonably sure it's the only game in the series where Pac-Man can eat a hallucinogenic caterpillar, with hilarious results.TheGameroomBlitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-26582676125961193932015-01-08T12:18:41.200-08:002015-01-08T12:18:41.200-08:00Hey there, Zach!

Pac-Man games that fall off the beaten track like this and Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures are the only Pac-Man games I can really bring myself to find any interest in, mostly because of their quirkiness! I felt like they give him a lot more character than his original game, which hardly treats itself as a character game in the first place, but... yeah.Zachnoreply@blogger.com
